Amazon CloudWatch Agent adds support for NVMe Local Volume Performance Statistics

Amazon CloudWatch agent now supports the collection of detailed performance metrics for NVMe local volumes on Amazon EC2 instances. These metrics give you insights into behavior and performance characteristics of your NVMe local storage.

The CloudWatch agent can now be configured to collect and send detailed NVMe metrics to CloudWatch, providing deeper visibility into storage performance. The new metrics include comprehensive performance indicators such as queue depths, I/O sizes, and device utilization. These metrics are similar to the detailed performance statistics available for EBS volumes, providing a consistent monitoring experience across both storage types. You can create CloudWatch dashboards, set alarms, and analyze trends for your NVMe-based instance store volumes.

Detailed performance statistics for Amazon EC2 instance store volumes via Amazon CloudWatch agent are available for all local NVMe volumes attached to Nitro-based EC2 instances in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. See the Amazon CloudWatch pricing page for CloudWatch pricing details.

To get started with detailed performance statistics for Amazon EC2 instance store volumes in CloudWatch, see Collect Amazon EC2 instance store volume NVMe driver metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
